Time loops the wrist of the cricketer, twisting his bat, adjusting his cap, against the late sun arriving as he takes strike.

Little magic now conjured from the willow, less likely to strike the oak, with a red bang in its branches, on guard over the churchyard,

The clock strikes the hour. The stance seems firm. A click.....and the snickering. Grey reaper lifts a flickering finger.

Tony Johnson, Rowner CC Club President

BREAKING NEWS

Thanks to the efforts of a core group of club members and the funding of NatWest Cricketforce the sightscreen at Rowner Green rides again ! 50 man hours and over £350 were spent in repairing the screen, the possession of which is a condition of our participation in County Division 2 of the Hampshire Cricket League so it was mission critical that this was done. So thanks to Jason Hoskins, Samm Downing, Jim Cooper, Lewis Haines, Matt McKeever, Harry and Cris Kemp all of whom gave up their spare time to help out and support the club.
